Platonic Problems

Chapter 6

Chapter 6.

Tw: Blood/Gore

Tobais snuck out of the school, dodging every person that could see him. Just in case. There were a few incidents with the janitor, but besides that no one saw him. One hallway down and he's home free. For the day at least. Nothing can stop him now.

Suddenly he felt a tug on his coat again. Looking down he saw a small blonde boy looking up at him with his amber eyes.

'Hey... so what happened back there?'

'Aren't you supposed to be in class?'

Tobais said irritatedly.

'Yeah, but the Vice principal pulled me out to go find you. I think she wanted us to talk? I'm not sure.'

Tobais cursed under his breath looking down at him.

They were in the middle of the hallway just looking at each other.
David let go of his sweater and sat down near some lockers gesturing for Tobais to do the same.

'I'm not sitting down again.'

'Please? It gives me an excuse to skip class.'

David turned his head slightly to his shoulder as he spoke. Tobias thought to himself how cute he was. As a friend would think of course.

'Fine. Just because it helps you skip class.'

Tobais sat down near him, further than expected though. It's at a point he would have to speak loudly to hear him.

David moved close to Tobias till the two's shoulders were touching or well,.. arms in that matter. David was so tiny compared to him. If tobais wanted to, he could step on him.
He would never do that of course but it brings into perspective how fragile David is compared to how tall and brick like tobias is.
He's all skin and bones despite looking extremely strong. Just really sturdy.

'Do you have to be this close?'

Tobais articulated.

'Am I making you uncomfortable?'

'No... it's fine. You're just really touchy.'

'How am I touchy?'

David argued.

T.'You grab my sweater to get my attention, you touch my shoulder all the time.'

D. 'That's it?'

D. 'First of all I do that because you're so damn tall! Secondly I touch your shoulder to see if you're okay.'

T. 'Well maybe just call my name.'

D. 'Fine'

They pause for a while before picking up the conversation.

D. 'So why did you curse in class?'

T. 'I didn't mean to out loud'

D. 'So what were you mad at?'

T. 'I wasn't mad. It's just complicated.'

D. 'How so?'

T. 'I have a weird feeling right now and sometimes it feels so wrong but I want to have what is wrong but it feels so right and I also want to feel that too!
Ugh it's complicated right now. You wouldn't understand.'

Tobias hit his head softly into the locker behind him and looked up. He felt something warm touch his hand. Then it got closer and held it. He looked down to see the boy's fingers entwined in his own.

D.'I think I know what you mean...'

T. 'You do?...'

David gave a small nod, staring into his eyes. Tobias looked into his gaze slowly melting into every little blink he made. David moved his face closer to his until Tobais could feel the breaths between them.
